Seeing as my sheet makes lots of references to Choedal, and they aren't in the roster, let me know if somebody else plans to claim over them. Being a smaller nation (county) my relationship with my neighbor is very important. That said, if it ends up being unclaimed, I can simply say that the land of the former-kingdom of Cheodal collapsed and balkanized (of which I would be a single, important state) or that the neighboring land is administered by the church. If it ends up being unclaimed, let me know which of these is preferable, or feel free to throw out other ideas.

Also, i've noticed people are saying to go ahead and get started. Are we just playing chicken with the first post?
